Crosstown raspberry jam
It was bound to happen at some point, where Crosstown - one of my absolute favourite brands for doughnuts - finally releases a doughnut that could be deemed a dud. Now when I say dud, I simply mean that in comparison to some of the other options out there, this one is just a little … Continue reading Crosstown raspberry jam
Waffle wands
A brand new find for me today! This brand appears to be a local brand, based in St Albans in Hertfordshire, and it was their St Albans shop that we visited. From looking on their website, they appear to have started as a wedding and catering brand before opening their store in St Albans. They … Continue reading Waffle wands
Whittard Orange hot chocolate
I am so glad that it is now autumn here in England. English autumns are very much the same as winters, in that it is grey 99% of the time, usually raining, but the weather is slightly more bipolar. At the moment the mornings and the evenings are getting really quite icy (under 10 degrees … Continue reading Whittard Orange hot chocolate
Sunday Musings
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. Where my food comes from. I know that it is likely a cliche at this point, but I really do wish I had moved towards a vegan diet earlier. Whilst going vegetarian was a good way for 16 year old me to learn how … Continue reading Sunday Musings

We had a day exploring London and this shop was advertised as being in Victoria, and as we were nearby we decided to take the trip down to try this. I love a good cookie and when I … Continue reading Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough
Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush
If there is one thing I am a sucker for, it is a cat café. I obviously want to make sure that they are an ethical establishment before I visit, but once I am satisfied that the cat welfare is the main priority, I am all for it! There is nothing better than a coffee, … Continue reading Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush
Little personal triumph
I have mentioned it before in some of my other posts, but I am currently training for a marathon. The marathon will be in York and takes place on 20th October 2024. For the past 5ish months I have been working super hard to get through my training plan so I can give this marathon … Continue reading Little personal triumph
Sunday Musings
What things give you energy? I am the textbook definition of an introvert. Whilst there are times when I love hanging out with lots of people, I do find them to be quite draining and I usually need at least a full day of silence to recover. Nothing resets my mind better than a quiet … Continue reading Sunday Musings
Floof friday
Following on from my previous post, I thought everyone would appreciate this pigeon, having a little rest in a sunbeam in St James's Park. Rest assured, he was behind a metal fence so that no one could accidentally stand on him, and no one was reaching over to bother him. We watched him rummage around … Continue reading Floof friday
